Sometimes I fancy a chicken meal for the family. I like chicken because you can be creative as much as you like with it. One of my favorites is making some easy keto chicken fritters.

If you are looking for a recipe that is both scrumptious and easy to make, then you should try this keto chicken fritters recipe. These cheesy chicken fritters are not only low carb but are also keto-friendly. They are straightforward to make and can be both an entree or an appetizer. You can use them as burger patties or dip them in your favorite sauce. My kids love to snack on them. I am sure yours will too.

Why Should You Make Chicken Fritters recipe?

They are delicious. My kids love eating chicken fritters. So, I make them often as snacks for my kids.

They cook fast. You can cook these keto chicken fritters in less than an hour. My recipe cooks at 25 minutes tops, 35-40 minutes, including the 15-minutes preparation time.

They are convenient. Fritters are hassle-free meals. You do not need any special equipment to cook these. For this recipe, all you need is a pan. You may need an oven if you decide to bake them instead, and that is about it.

They have a long storage life. Whether cooked in advance or leftovers, you can store chicken fritters for days in the fridge, and even longer in the freezer. Just make sure to store them properly.

What are chicken fritters

First, let us clarify what fritters exactly are. For starters, the word fritter is Latin in origin, which means “to fry.” And contrary to popular belief, fritters are not just exclusive to fruits. You can make lots of meat fritters mixed with egg, spices, aromatics, and flour if you want.

The recipe I have is mainly keto and gluten-free; however, if you want to make it vegan, you can replace the chicken with vegan-friendly products, such as tofu, ground beans, a mix of flaxseed, and chia seeds. You can replace eggs with flax eggs if you are vegan, a mixture of flaxseed and water.

Ingredients for keto chicken fritters

2 cups ground chicken breast
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup finely chopped dill
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp Aleppo pepper
3 eggs
Oil for frying

let’s go ahead and make those easy keto chicken fritters:

In a large bowl, add ground chicken breast, parsley, dill, garlic, spices, and salt.
Add the cheese and eggs to the chicken.
Mix with your hand or a spoon until everything is well-combined.
Add the oil to a pan on medium-high heat. Add about ¼ cup of the mixture to the pan and fry each side for 3-4 minutes.
Drain the oil in a paper towel and serve.
Dip them in ranch or garlic sauce and enjoy it! 🙂

This recipe yields 10 fritters and takes about 15 minutes to prepare and around 20-25 minutes to cook.

When you cook these keto chicken fritters, make sure that the oil is hot before placing them in. Otherwise, the fritters will absorb the oil as they cook, making them greasy. Also, avoid overcrowding the pan. It is to make sure that there is even distribution of the heat.

keto ground chicken recipe Tips:

Can I change some of the ingredients?

Of course! We all have our tastes in food. This recipe is very versatile. You can remove or add ingredients as you like to tweak the recipe.

Can I use cooked chicken instead of raw?

If you have some leftover chickens, you can use them in place of raw chicken. Make sure to shred them properly to avoid chunks and coat them with the seasonings properly.

Can I make it in advance?

You can make these keto chicken fritters in advance, maybe the night before or a few hours before eating them. However, I strongly suggest that you make them on the spot. It is still best to eat these when they are hot and still crunchy.

How is it stored? For how long?

You need to store them in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag and refrigerate. These keto chicken fritters can last 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator or about 2 months in the freezer.

How do I reheat them?

If you stored them in your fridge, take them out and microwave them for 45 seconds. If stored in the freezer, take them out 25-30 minutes prior. You can place them in an air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2 minutes on each side until they are warm. You can also microwave them for 1 minute.

Are there alternative cooking methods?

If you are not into frying, you can oven bake them. Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F and bake for 14-15 minutes. Flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on all sides.

If you are on the lookout for a chicken recipe that you can serve for your family or friends, then keto chicken fritters are worth the try.
